Laurent Archambault and Catherine Marchand

"A single Archambault son, Laurent, a carpenter, kept his last name in order to pass it on to today's generations. He was born at Dompierre on 10 January 1642. At the age of 18, at Montreal on 7 January 1660, he joined his destiny to the orphan Catherine Marchand, daughter of Pierre and of Genevieve Lespine, parish of Saint-Sulpice, faubourg Saint-Germain de Paris.. The couple settled on the Saint-Ange Coast. Laurent was chosen with Francois Bau as church wardens for the construction of the church at Pointe-aux-Trembles on 25 February 1713. Laurent was buried in the same place on 19 April 1730. He had reached the estimable age of 88. A dozen children owed them the gift of life, including Marie-Madeleine who became a nursing sister."
